Frog

You got cold feet / freezy freezy
You got thin socks / itsy bitsy freezy feety
It’s a god damn cold day / nose is getting sneezy
Feeling stiff and grey / no hot soup to eaty eaty
And all you’ve got is a .. frog
Not a cozy fire / just a regular frog
Not a nice toasty blanket / just a regular frog
Not a warm foot bath / just a regular frog
With its googly eyes / your longtime family frog
Cause all you’ve got is a .. family frog
You wanna generate heat / but not through friction
You sit inside your kitchen / And you’ve got that frog addiction
What the hell, you think / In your mind it goes: “bing”
You grab the frog from the sink / gonna make that froggy sing
Cause Microwaves resolve that contradiction
To make a cold frog hot
three minutes in the microwave
To make a hot frog pop
two more little minutes in the microwave
When you were a tadpole / you couldn‘t warm up anything
You were so much smaller / I could have lost you in the sink
Now that you’ve grown / two-hundred grams or more
It would really leave a trace / if I stepped on you on the floor
Since then I found for you / a place in this family
at least as long as microwaves have electricity
Please don’t explode, my precious toad
Please don’t explode, my precious toad
I want you to keep me warm until I‘m lonely and old
To make a cold frog hot
three minutes in the microwave
To make a hot frog pop
two more little minutes in the microwave
But if you want a warm frog and you don’t want it to pop
Give it into the warm gentle hands of your mother

If you have a daughter
If you have a son
If you have children,
and you want to hide them
If you have children,
and you want to hide them
Where should you hide your children
Where should you hide your children
Where should you hide your children
Should you hide them…
Under the table
Under the table
Under the table
Under the table
If you have a lama
with a pain in its neck
The lama needs an operation
And during the operation
it needs to put its head somewhere
Where should you place its head
Where should you put its head
Where should you place its head
Should you put it
Under the table
Under the table
Under the table
Under the table
Invincible
Invisible
Where I feel safe
Where I feel brave
If you’re having dinner
in your favorite restaurant
And you go there, and you can’t find your friends
You ask the waiter
Where are my friends
Where are my friends, and he sais
Your friends
Your friends
Your friends
Are
Under the table
Under the table
Under the table
Under the table
Invincible
Invisible
Where I feel safe
Where I feel brave
Under the table
Under the table
Under the table
Under the table

Crocodile

If you got a crocodile you need nobody else
If you got a crocodile you need nobody else
It crawls into your heart and you will love it for the rest of your life / You will never love again
If you got a crocodile you need nobody else
If you got a crocodile you need nobody else
It crawls into your heart and you will love it for the rest of your life / You will never love again
Crocodiles are your friends in the morning
Crocodiles eat your friends in the evening
Crocodiles bake you bread
Before they shake you dead
Crocodiles bring you coffee to your bed / on top of their flat head /
but once you are well fed/ they eat you up instead
Crocodiles are really shitty kissers
Crocodiles are not that skilled with scissors
Crocodiles in disguise
Eat you by surprise
Crocodiles seem like they’re your friend / but that’s just pretend /
hard to comprehend / theyll tear off your rear end
Space crocodile, Space crocodile
I want to be riding on your back for a while
Space crocodile, Space crocodile
I want to be riding on your back for a while
Look at all the stars
Look at all the galaxies
Look at all the scars
Look at all my injuries
I remember / when you first kissed me / I still had my head / now I’m dead

Danza come un Girino
04:56

I was listening
to my favorite song
I felt like moving
sitting there was just wrong
I heard a voice
“get on your feet come on
you have no choice, my dear
you’re beautiful you’re strong”
Danza come un girino
danza,… danza
danza picolo girino
danza, danza, danza
Danza come un girino
danza,… danza
danza picolo girino
danza, danza, danza
When the music stopped
I tried to calm down
had to figure out
what had gone on
What is a girino
I wish - i wish I knew
and who is this latino
telling me what to do
But there was the voice again
“get on your feet come on
you have no choice, my dear
you’re beautiful you’re strong”
Danza come un girino
danza,… danza
danza picolo girino
danza, danza, danza
Danza come un girino
danza,… danza
danza picolo girino
danza, danza, danza
No, I don’t want to dance no more
No, I don’t want to dance no more
No, I don’t want to dance no more
No, I don’t want to dance no more
But then the voice comes back
My mind just fades to black, and it sais
“if you don’t want to dance,
like a girino,
just jumpa, jumpa, jumpa
come un delphino “
Jumpa, come un delphino
Jumpa, come un delphino
Jumpa, come un delphino
Jumpa, come un delphino
Danza, come un girino
Danza, come un girino
Danza, come un girino
Danza, Danza, Danza, Danza, Danza, Danza, Danza, Danza

Crocodile as a doorbell keeps the kids out
Order cookies just to eat the girl scouts
Crocodiles phony smiles
Crocodiles handbag styles
If your little child is screaming for hours / and youre feeling bitter/ hire croco babysitter / may it eat the little shitter

Hope

I was stuck, in the elevator
and I pressed the emergendy button
and it actually worked
Somebody heard me and somebody saved me
That gives me hope
All that I needed to see
Was that at least somebody thought it through
I’m wishin’ that I could say
That that’s the case for me and you
The other day I suffered from menstruation cramps
and I took a painkiller
and it actually worked
The pain went away almost instantly
That gives me hope
All that I needed to see
Was that at least somebody thought it through
I’m wishin’ that I could say
That that’s the case for me and you
My partner left me
and she found somebody new
Who loves her as much as I did
but she loves him too
She found a lover for whom she can feel the same
She found symmetrical love
Love
That gives me hope
hope
hope
hope
